I'm actually not even using HDMI sound but my video playback was fast and I had no sound through onboard SPDIF (optical) until running this fix.

Tried on a different machine running unstable and the above works. Strange that when I looked up libgegl it never showed that version 0.2 was available, but running the command installed it. *shrug*

I got all excited for an easy install from experimental, but then.... > sudo apt-get install gimp/experimental Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Selected version '2.8.0-1' (Debian:experimental [amd64]) for 'gimp' Some packages could not be insta...

yeah aptitude asked this morning if I would like to remove everything xorg. After choosing "F$%& NO!", it skipped that update and carried on. The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 which is a virtual package. xserver-x...

I have one issue which I believe is kernel related, and another that I have no idea where to begin. I recently lost sound, and all video and sound apps were playing too fast. My video/sound card is a Radeon HD 3200. I'm using S/PDIF (optical) from the board to external speakers. It seems related to ...

Ran into this one recently:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666565

An update to cairo causes menu and button text in LibreOffice to disappear. A workaround is to downgrade cairo to the version in testing.

from post 66:
"Downgrade libcairo2 to version 1.10.2-7"

You have a command line? LUCKY!

I know it's called "UNSTABLE" for a reason, but c'mon. Don't they test this stuff before pushing it out?

Sorry it took me a while to remember to try the overview search on my home PC (AMD/ATI) running the same system software (debian testing) as my work PC (nvidia). Results: no problems; search worked fine. So this is either a problem with the nvidia setup or maybe "bit-rot"...

Yes - same problem: go into overview, start typing, crash. Didn't matter what I typed. I have 2 boxes running debian testing that used to be LMDE (switched to testing a while ago but there are still some mint remnants). One is my system at work running nvidia and the other is at home and has an AMD/...

Thanks - moving the 'recently-used.xbel' file out of that directory (then restarting the shell with an alt+F2, 'r') fixed mine. Stupid nvidia... :roll: On a side note, nvidia recently joined the linux foundation . Think that means they'll be opening their specs anytime soon? (I'm not holding my brea...

Just updated and the 3.2 kernel showed up and proceeded to break nvidia.

Booted up 3.1 until I find a fix or one comes down from the mothership...

UPDATE:
fixed by reinstalling the nvidia kernel packages:

That's what it needed. Thanks! I haven't tried on a fresh install, but it seems that installing 'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer', then adding 'b43' to /etc/modules is all that is necessary to get the elusive broadcom wireless running. Now for dropbox... Ever since 3.2, dropbox has not been loading cor...

Linux 3.2 blew away my (hard-earned) broadcom wireless driver and the old installation process failed to install it again. Back to 3.1 until I can find a fix. Update: I installed the package 'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer', then ran 'modprobe b43' which got me back up and running. However, it won't a...

And I thought it was just me stuck with "Redmond" and default icons. Did you notice that the login took a lot longer? This was one of those times I hit the console and changed a bunch of stuff, rebooted and it all was back. Sorry that's not much help... One thing I did was (re?)install gno...

Had the same problem. Even going in through network manager from the applet menu would not work. The authentication box would flash and disappear then it still wouldn't remember a password. Going in through the Network Connections control from the system tools got it working.

3.2 isn't even complete in Sid, but it's getting there. Most of the packages are up to date, but still waiting on a big one: gnome-shell.

If you want to keep track of the Gnome 3.2 updates check here:

just updated today and gnome-control-center was removed. Attempting to add it back afterwards would result in removing most of the desktop...

LMDE is a new kind of rolling release with multiple levels of stability and/or "adventure". The new "Latest" could be a great alternative for a newer linux user coming from Ubuntu or another 6-month-cycle distro who would like to test the waters of a rolling release without havin...

a shorter way to install the nvidia-glx package from sid (don't have to edit/re-edit sources.list):

Yes. gnome terminal has unique breakages in both xfce (shrinking) and gnome (broken decorations). I fixed both by installing xfce4-terminal.
